PC wing leveler on the fritz

As I recall, there is a trick to the Aileron Boots.  Maybe removing access cover on other side of rib.  It starts out looking difficult but then you get the technique.  My hands are not small.

The only trick is patience.

The nature of a trick is that is not obvious and may be overlooked entirely.

My PC acted up two years ago.  I called Brittain Autopilots in Tulsa and arranged to fly the plane to them.

I arrived late morning after a 4 hour flight.  Gerry inspected, did troubleshooting, repaired and had me on way with a working PC all in the same day.  He asked me to budget a second day when scheduling but was able to get it all done in one day.  He is awesome.  Can't say enough good things about the folks at Brittain Industries.

The new boots are in and work great.  I can literally climb out with PC engaged hands off trimmed out and with no rudder in and the PC will maintain runway heading with a bit of a slip.  I push on the rudder to center the ball and it maintains wings level instantly.  It is kind of awesome when it works well.  It never really worked this well.  I bet the ailerons were blown out years ago.

You have likely had leaks for a long time. Now add an accutrac and you will real like it.
